Hall Of Fame broadcaster Colonel Bob Sheridan spoke to Fightnews about Manny Pacquiao and why he thinks the Filipino superstar is the best 140 pound fighter in the world, why Ricky Hatton will give Manny a better fight than Oscar did and why a Manny Pacquiao vs Miguel Cotto clash would be a great showdown.


"I feel Manny Pacquiao is the best of them all at 140 where he will test Ricky Hatton in the spring," said the Colonel. "He's too quick for Ricky, but Ricky will give him more problems than Oscar de la Hoya because Ricky is much closer to his prime and will definitely push Pacquiao more. At 147, Miguel Cotto is the class of the division. A Cotto-Pacquiao fight will be one for the ages and I hope that can be put together in 2009."
